Am I missing any, or guessing wrong?
NC State 1973 was outstanding, finished the regular season undefeated, but was not eligibile for the NCAA Tournament; do they deserve to be ranked in this group?
UNC 1957---they helped establish the prominence of the ACC, but does a team before integration really qualify in the top 5?
All these teams had some close calls in the tournament, some bordering on miraculous, so that's not likely a determining factor.
Duke 1992 is my choice, but I may be a little biased.
I agree with others who have said that 2001 was the best Duke team ever. Five NBA starters; some people would argue the two best players in Duke history - certainly 2 of the top 7 (although 1991-92 maybe had 3 of the top 10) - plus two others in Dunleavy and Boozer who might have had their numbers retired had they stayed another year.
